In addition to "Crooklyn," the other movies included "On the Town," "New York, New York," "Desperately Seeking Susan" and "The Wedding Banquet."

"'Crooklyn was written by my younger siblings Joie, Cinque Lee and I," said Spike Lee in a statement. "It's a semi-bio story of our family — the Lees growing up in the pre-gentrified black and Puerto Rican hood of Fort Greene in 'Da Republic of Brooklyn' during the early 70's.

"More than anything, Crooklyn is a love letter to our long gone mother — Jacquelyn Shelton Lee," Lee added. "Our mom died of cancer of the liver at the too young age of 41, didn't smoke either. 'Crooklyn' was the way we grieved and at the same time celebrated her brief but bold life. The Lee family thanks everyone who voted for 'Crooklyn'; the support actually started May 13th, 1994, the day of its release. Also shout out to the other great films too in #OneFilmNY."

"We are thrilled that native son Spike Lee's film is the one New Yorkers have chosen to watch together on September 13th," said Julie Menin, Media and Entertainment Commissioner. "Film has the power to unite us in these tumultuous times, and this film celebrates New York in such a creative and resonant way."
